Can Shakespeare survive the new puritans?

And in 2022, the Globe staged a new play called I, Joan, which presented Joan of Arc as “non-binary” on the basis that she was powerful, independent and wore armour. Presumably a female Joan of Arc would have been too busy knitting, gossiping and shopping for shoes to fight the English.

To accompany the production, an activist academic called Kit Heyam was invited to write an essay in which it was claimed that Queen Elizabeth I could have been “non-binary” for similar reasons.

This is the epitome of anti-feminism.
